Redirects from phrases

You asked an interesting question at Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion/Log/2008 January 7#I am you → Rush Hour 3. There are only 39 entries in that category. I'm really not sure why the template was created in the first place. My guess is that someone was bold, the idea never caught on and no one remembered to clean up the experiment.

What would you think of posing this as a centralized discussion and putting the template, category and redirects up for a consolidated discussion? It would be nice to get a consistent answer. Rossami (talk) 01:14, 10 January 2008 (UTC)

User Page Vandalism

Don't mention it. I just happen to chance upon it. IP vandal-watching is the first thing I always do when I access my watchlist. I hope you're doing well "in real life". -- Altiris Helios Exeunt 05:31, 13 January 2008 (UTC)

...it looks like you really are doing well "in real life". Welcome back. -- Altiris Helios Exeunt 14:50, 13 January 2008 (UTC)

Hey, thanks for keeping an eye on that useless fancruft trivia being added to Family Guy articles in my absence, it's like a never ending battle... Qst 13:33, 13 January 2008 (UTC)

Peter born in Mexico

Responding to this reversion in Talk:Peter Griffin#Peter born in Mexico. If you agree, I would rather not undo your reversion myself. While there may be a point in mentioning Peter's birth in Mexico, I would probably choose not to watch the Peter Griffin article if every other editor watching this article insists on developing the article along the lines of a fictional biography that starts with Peter's birth in Mexico, since such an article has no hope of ever becoming encyclopedic (to Wikipedia) or interesting (to me). / edg ☺ ☭ 16:49, 14 January 2008 (UTC)

Peter's Two Dads

I've been working on this article for a few days, I've added a reception section, removed some trivia, added some external links and references and I'm going to rewrite the plot now. I'll try to watch the DVD commentary tomorrow, as I don't feel up to it now. Qst 20:38, 14 January 2008 (UTC)

Oh, and if you have any other suggestions for articles to me to work on, fire away. Season 5 (six, according to the DVD) is my preferred season as they get more reception, but I'm open to most articles... Qst 20:40, 14 January 2008 (UTC)

You broke my editing pattern; I was trying to get fifty in a row [1] :) [joke].Qst 16:16, 15 January 2008 (UTC)

With a little bit of luck, I may have it at GAN by tonight. Qst 17:14, 16 January 2008 (UTC)

Okay, it's ready. I need to do one or two minor things, but if you want to skim through it, feel free. If you have any issues, please tell me and I'll address them before we GAN' it :) Qst 19:34, 16 January 2008 (UTC)

Congratulations. If you have any other season 5 or 4 episode (or even season 3 with the orange cover, as some of them episodes have commentary,) please feel free to drop me a line. :) Qst 14:02, 26 January 2008 (UTC)

Neighbour Jones

Hi, regarding your recent revert: I removed the unreferenced tag on Neighbour Jones because I had previously removed [2] unreferenced info (which I believe is wrong, by the way). I think everything else is referenced in the external link. Herve661 (talk)

Re: Adminship

I know what you're saying, and that was my concern at the beginning. However, this is the third time I've been queried about adminship. I explained why I was not sure, and I got an excellent answer back, see here. Let me know what you think of that. —Erik (talk • contrib) - 19:16, 15 January 2008 (UTC)

Hey

I see. What sorts of hacks?. There are so different type of hacks you know. Well you know erik talk page is on my watchlist so when i was refreshing my watch list i saw your nick after that i saw adminship and i asked about youtube.

Also thanks for the compliments in 2008 in films. Iam glad my help made you happy. I totally agree with you regarding "I also hate redlinks on pages that are supposed to have confirmed stuff. (I don't have anything against redlinked actor, but redlinked movie is what I'm truly against.)". Come let us work together and do so many things. Please be free and talk to me.--SkyWalker (talk) 06:46, 16 January 2008 (UTC)

Special:Mostrevisions

You asked to be notified if there was an answer to your question at Wikipedia talk:Special:Mostrevisions#Why isn't Wikipedia:Sandbox on the list?. There is now. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 09:21, 19 January 2008 (UTC)

Doomsday

Think of it this way -- if someone types in Doomsday, they will get to the disambiguation page. At that page, both Doomsday (film) and Superman: Doomsday are listed. What terms could a user type that would accidentally lead him or her to one but not the other? —Erik (talk • contrib) - 17:44, 19 January 2008 (UTC)

You mean actually typing Doomsday (film) itself? I'm not sure if that's likely. I keep quick wiki-links on my user page to access film articles with ease, rather than typing it out. Also, according to WP:DAB#Partial title matches, I don't think the dab link is appropriate since the whole title is Superman: Doomsday. I know what you're trying to say, but I think if a user is experienced enough to actually include (film) in typing it, then I think the user should be able to surmise how to get to the disambiguation page. —Erik (talk • contrib) - 15:58, 20 January 2008 (UTC)

It can be tricky to work on articles about upcoming films, especially when a filmmaker or a cast member reveals too much in an interview. However, I usually glaze my eyes over the Plot section if I haven't seen the film yet. For example, I hadn't seen Sunshine until last night, and I had expanded the article considerably over the past summer. I think that in a lot of ways, it's more enjoyable to watch a film when I'm aware of its background even if I am spoiled in some ways. I imagine that The Dark Knight will be a good watch since we have a lot of interesting information about how the film has been put together. Another issue is that because I'm at the forefront of future film news, I know when a film starts production before anyone else does, so the wait for it to actually come out can be a long time. I guess that's why I work on other film articles in the meantime. Another reason why I work on future film articles is to encourage a new mindset about how to write film articles -- keeping the plot short, having lots of production information, and avoiding trivia sections. I try to do this for the major films so that when major films come out in the future, editors will know what's appropriate to include. —Erik (talk • contrib) - 18:28, 20 January 2008 (UTC)

Have you gotten rollback yet?

I recommend it for reverting obvious vandalism. Wikipedia:Requests for rollback if you're not yet equipped. / edg ☺ ☭ 21:25, 21 January 2008 (UTC)

No disclaimers in articles

{{helpme}} Does this rule also apply to user pages? I added a disclaimer here. I don't know just curios.

Oh and the section is 100% relevant to Wikipedia as those are YouTube videos that are messages TO Wikipedia. TheBlazikenMaster (talk) 20:05, 22 January 2008 (UTC)

HI there! WP:NDT only applies to main space articles. As for your user page, per Wikipedia:User page you can have (almost) anything reasonable on your user page. By my best guess, you're alright with that disclaimer. Hope this helped! If you need anything else, drop a message here or on my talk page. Happy Editing! --omtay38 20:13, 22 January 2008 (UTC)

Section looks good! Unfortunately, I can't make out what you're saying. There are some people I can understand pretty easily, and some that I don't. You should try to find a more exciting background for your videos, though, with some additional lighting. It'd make the videos look a bit more cheery. :) —Erik (talk • contrib) - 20:30, 22 January 2008 (UTC)

fatass

{{HelpMe|I really disagree with protected title, can someone tell me this: Where is the best place to discuss whether or not it should be redirected or protected from recreation? TheBlazikenMaster (talk) 23:27, 22 January 2008 (UTC)}}

Per the notice on the page, you should bring up the matter at Wikipedia:Deletion review. Best regards. --omtay38 23:31, 22 January 2008 (UTC)

The logs for that page are located here, which you may find useful when going to DRV. It appears the page was salted due to multiple creations of vandalism-only pages. Since this is the case, you may want to consider going to Wikipedia:Requests for page protection#Current requests for unprotection instead, but I believe you are likely to be turned down there unless you are willing to write an article under that title that meets standards. It may help to have one drafted in your userspace already. Hersfold ^(t/a/c) 23:36, 22 January 2008 (UTC)

No, I'm thinking about getting it back to the redirect it used to be, except this time protected. I'm going to deletion review soon. TheBlazikenMaster (talk) 23:56, 22 January 2008 (UTC)

Thanks

You beat me to undoing all them additions of the episode navigation box. Frankly, its not even funny now - I have a feeling its User:Immblueversion using an IP, but I'm in no position to accuse him, so I'll ask politely. Thanks again. Qst 17:56, 23 January 2008 (UTC)

Quick question.

{{HelpMe|Is there any userbox at all that tells something like "This user loves cussing"? I wanna know because I want to add that userbox. Thanks. If I get no relevant answer by tomorrow I'll look for it myself, yeah. TheBlazikenMaster (talk) 23:48, 23 January 2008 (UTC)}}

You could make one yourself, if you'd like. For example;

@#%*This user loves to %#%@ing cuss!

Thanks for correcting me in calling May Max's brother. I'm not quite sure what I was thinking, just been spotting a bunch of things to fix and not paying enough attention to what I'm doing. Thanks! —Preceding unsigned comment added by SpigotMap (talk • contribs) 14:47, 24 January 2008 (UTC)

re: Stop adding navigation boxes to Family Guy episodes.

I was only adding the ones that were not there in the first place. What's the problem? And what the hell is "against cons". 58.160.139.19 (talk) 09:56, 26 January 2008 (UTC)

Also, why only remove mine? what about all the other episodes that have navigation boxes? I could put them back in just to tee you off, but I've got better things to do. Sometimes I really hate you high-and-mightly Wikipedia mods. If you didn't want assistance to give all the Family Guy episode pages a standard, uniform look, then protect them. 58.160.139.19 (talk) 10:19, 26 January 2008 (UTC)

Re: YouTube

To be honest, I'm not very accustomed to YouTube. It's a nice place to host videos, but I don't frequent the website all that often. I only go to it when a URL on another website pops up that goes to YouTube. I'd rather have discussion on our user talk pages here; it's not truly frowned upon unless that's all one uses his or her user talk page for. I see it as a way of establishing camaraderie. —Erik (talk • contrib) - 16:20, 26 January 2008 (UTC)

As a film to see? Absolutely! It's one of the most oft-quoted films out there. —Erik (talk • contrib) - 16:05, 29 January 2008 (UTC)

Sure! Netflix is a subscription plan in which you can have three movies at home at any given time. When you finish watching a movie, you can send it back in Netflix envelopes (they cover postage), and Netflix sends you the next movie on your queue. The queue looks like this -- I can sort films that I want to see, and when Netflix receives a movie back from me, they'll send whatever is available at the top of the list. There's a monthly fee, but considering how often I watch movies, each movie is really cheaper than renting straight from the video store. —Erik (talk • contrib) - 16:46, 29 January 2008 (UTC)
